The Police Command in Sokoto State has confirmed the death of one person as a result of stray bullets fired when hoodlums allegedly attacked Governor Aminu Tambuwal’s Motorcade in Sokoto on Saturday.
The command’s spokesperson, Cordelia Nwawe, told journalists that one other person who was injured during the incident had been hospitalised.
Reports say that the PDP had organised a reception rally to welcome Mr Tambuwal after his failed attempt to secure the 2019 presidential ticket of the party.
The governor was received by a crowd of supporters at the Sultan Abubakar III International Airport, Sokoto and went in a motorcade to the Government House.
The event was, however, not-hitch free as political thugs armed with dangerous weapons destroyed billboards, building structures and vehicles bearing inscriptions of the opposition party.
